Zoey you are the love of my life

The thought of you leaving me cuts like a knife

I needed you more than you ever did me

I was ready to take my own life you see

Down in the darkest pits on this earth

I felt so unloved, I had little self worth

But, oh, you little bundle of joy

To keep me alive, that was your ploy.

I would spend day after day in my bed

The thought of getting up, I surely did dread

But get out I had to, you needed to pee

And all of a sudden a sun I would see

Unless someone has been that low in their life

There’s no way of knowing their troubles and strife

The thought of closing your eyes one last time

Doesn’t really feel so much like a crime

The drugs they would give would not help at all

Further and further in depression I’d fall

My family had fallen apart by the seams

I’d lost all my family, my friends and my dreams

Only very few people know what you have done

How you taught me in life I did not have to run

They know that every time you have a scare

It might be just be more than I’m willing to bare

I’m trying to face that you are now growing old

And it’s just a matter of time I’ve been told

I cherish each moment I still have with you

Because when you’re gone I’m not sure what I’ll do

I wish I’d make better use of our time

Instead of remembering you in your prime

I waste more time worrying about when you’ll leave

Oh, the heartbreaking webs that we weave

We need more time spent sitting out on a hill

And eat all your favorites until you’ve had your fill

And ride in the car ‘til you can stand it no more

Because walks together make your poor old legs sore

I promise to feed you whatever you please

And please don’t get up, I’ll just stoop to my knees

Each night I help you upon to my bed

I need you so near me, right next to my head

You know you are loved, of that I’ve made sure

I know every inch of your soft, cuddly fur

I know every look, each expression, each move

Our love for each other leaves nothing to prove

Please help me stop mourning while you’re here by my side

And stop acting as if you have already died

Help me to do all your favorite things

Until you leave me one day with your soft angel wings.
